| 12. "Discrimination against skinny people is perfectly acceptable" |
|
Absolutely. I'm a genetically skinny guy and I get "Wow, you're skinny!" all the time. People don't realize it's exactly like going up to a fat lady and saying, "Wow, you're fat!".
Now women can't be fat or skinny at risk of being discriminated against. I completely understand that anorexia is a bad thing, but some people are just thin by nature.

The models generally tend to be anorexic when they get that thin. |
